UiTM offers Ibrahim Ali award to students

A local varsity has opened nominations for the Ibrahim Ali leadership award - which students who have proven they have "clear and consistent" principles in upholding their race - will stand a chance to win.

NONEUiTM's Institut Pemikiran dan Kepimpinan Melayu (Impak) website has put up detailed information on theaward, which offers a cash prize of RM5,000, sponsored by the Perkasa president himself.

Aside from having these clear and consistent principles, nominees must also fulfil four other criteria, one being helping UiTM encourage students to take part in programmes and activities related to "upgrading the honour and reputation of the race".

The other criteria are:

  • Being a leader of a registered organisation under UiTM's Student Affairs and Alumni division, such as a Malay art and culture association or other national associations that are considered successful or effective within or outside the campus;
  • Being a leader or committee member of an off-campus organisation that defends the race and culture, such as GPMS, Abim, Perkasa and Gapena; and
  • Having received recognition from bodies outside of UiTM.

NONENominations for the award, mooted by Ibrahim himself during a unity forum organised by Impak on Oct 17 last year, are open to both male and female students of UiTM.

They must also have a minimum CGPA of 3.0, have no disciplinary or criminal record and must not have been declared bankrupt during the course of their studies.

The closing date for nominations is Sept 15 and the award, which is intended to be given annually, is expected to be presented during the university's convocation ceremony in October or the following month.

Ibrahim, who is also Independent MP for Pasir Mas, is an UiTM alumnus, having studied there from 1971 to 1974.

A student activist at the time - who was involved in anti-government protests - he was detained for two years under the ISA close to the end of his time at the varsity. - Malaysiakini
